GARMENT POCKET.

Application filed September 2, 1919.

To all 10. 1 0971 it may concern.

Be it known that I, SOLOMON CORNBLUM, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment Pockets, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to garments, and more particularly to the pocket for garments as well as to a method of forming a flap for the pocket opening. An object of this invention is to provide a pocket which will be so constructed that provision will be made above the pocket opening or slit for the reception of articles too long to be held in the pocket below the slit, the pocket being so constructed that the full width thereof may be employed, while at the same time the pocket is sustained against sagging under the weight of articles received within the pocket. Another object of the invention is a method of cut ting the goods in such a way that a flap may be formed from one edge of the pocket slit or opening.

To these and other ends, the invention consists of certain parts and combinations of parts all of which will be hereinafter described, the novel features being pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings Fig. 1 is a fragmentary View of a pair of trousers showing the invention embodied 5 in the rear pocket of the trousers;

Fig. 2 is a fragmentary view showing the manner in which the goods are out before the flap is formed on the pocket;

Fig. 3 is a vertical section through the pocket shown in Fig. 1;

Fig. at is a fragmentary view of a pocket designed for use in coats or vests, either upon the inside or outside thereof, or in fact any other garment;

Fig. 5 is a vertical section through the pocket shown in Fig. 4, the parts being enlarged.

Referring more particularly to the embodiment of the invention shown in Figs.

F9 1-3, 1 indicates the cloth or material of a pair of trousers, only a fragment of the material being shown and that adjacent the rear pocket. The material is first provided with a slit 2 and is then out above the slit with a wide notch 3. The edges Serial No. 321,070.

of this notch are then brought together and sewed as at 4, thus throwing the upper wall or edge of the slit 2 downwardly over the lower edge or wall and providing a flap 5. The edges of the slit are finished in the usual manner, and the flap may be pro- The pocket is of elongated form with its length extending upright. The upper edge of this pocket is fastened at 8 at the waistband of the trousers, while the lower edge 9 hangs pendant on the inner wall of the goods. The length of the slit lies transversely of th length of the pocket, and is substantially equal to the width of the pocket, and the slit is positioned at a point in spaced relation to the upper and lower edge of the pocket. The upper end of the pocket is supported by the fastening stitches 8 at the waistband, while the pocket is further supported through stitches 10 at opposite ends of the pocket passing through the rear wall 11 of the pocket. These stitches 10, together with. the stitches S. serve to support the pocket against sagging. Heretofore it has been impossible to secure a rear pocket of suflicient depth in trousers, and this invention provides for a pocket of great depth without interfer ing with the seating of the user.

In the embodiment of the invent-ion shown in Figs. i and 5, the material 1 is provided with a slit 2 without a flap. The pocket communicates with the slit between its ends, that is, in spaced relation to its top and bottom, the slit being substantially equal to the width of the pocket. At its upper end the pocket is secured by stitches 8 to the material 1 and below the slit the pocket hangs in a pendant condition as at 9*. At the ends of the slit 2, stitches 1O are provided which pass through the rear wall 11 of the pocket and secure the pocket against sagging.

From the foregoing it will be seen that there has been provided a pocket of elongated form with the opening thereof arranged in spaced relation to the top and bottom V walls of the pocket, the pocket opening befrom the pocket.

Width substantially equal to the Width of 'ing substantially equal to the width of the pocket and extending transversely of the length of the pocket. By this arrangement, 'papers'pencils and other articles may not only be held at their lovver ends,- but may 'be received abovev the pocket slit at their upper ends, thus making itiimpossible for articles Which Ordinarily project out of the pocket to become accidentally displaced The pocket slit has a the pocket, so that the entire pocket may be utilized. The pocket is connected to the garment in such a manner that sagging thereof is prevented. There has also been provided an improved method of cutting a garment so that one Wall'of the pocket slit may be. caused tooverlapthe other wall for the purpose of providing a pocket flap. A rear pocket for trousers has been provided which extends from the Waistband to a point Where it will not interfere With the seating of the user.. 7

That I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1, A garment having a pocket opening pocket opening, the front wall having an opening between the upper and the lower edges thereof, the edges of said opening being secured to the garment on opposite sides of the pocket opening, and the rear wall of the pocket being secured to the garment at opposite ends of the pocket opening.

2. A method of forming a flap to apocket which consists in slitting the material to provide the pocket slit, forming a wide V- shaped notch in the goods above said slit, and securing the edges of the notch together to cause the upper edge of the slit to overlap the lower edge of the slit and provide the flap.

3. Trousers having a pocket opening spaced from the waistband edge thereof, an elongated single chambered pocket comprising a front and a rear wall secured together along their edges, the pocket opening in the trousers extending transversely of the vertical axis of the pocket, the upper edge oi the pocket being secured throughout its length in immediate proximity to the waistband edge of the trousers above and in spaced relation to the pocket opening to provide a space above the pocket opening for the reception of suitable articles, the front wall of the pocket having an opening between the upper and lower edges thereof. the edges of said opening being secured to the trousers on opposite sides of the pocket opening and the rear wall of the pocket being secured to the trousers at opposite ends of the pocket opening.
